Demonstrates how to append text data as a file within a zip archive. Android™

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    boolean success = false;

    //  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkZip zip = new CkZip();

    String zipPath = "c:/temp/test.zip";

    //  Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
    zip.NewZip(zipPath);

    //  Append a file that will contain the string "Hello World";
    String fileContent = "Hello World";
    String pathInZip = "txtFiles/helloWorld.txt";
    zip.AddString(pathInZip,fileContent,"utf-8");

    zip.put_FileName(zipPath);
    success = zip.WriteZipAndClose();
    if (success == false) {
        Log.i(TAG, zip.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    Log.i(TAG, "Success.");

  }

  static {
      System.loadLibrary("chilkat");

      // Note: If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary,
      // then you will see the following error message at application startup:
      //"The application <your-application-name> has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
